Nitpick: Doubt it has anything to do with the weight on the rim (the Aerobie has weight only on the rim and doesn't suffer from that), but it does seem that wide rims cause the air to move in a way that makes the cruising speed range narrower.

Remember, in Discraft terms the Glide, Zombee, and Impact are all "Long Range Drivers". Stalkers, Cyclones and XLs are all "Extra Long Range Drivers" and all of the real distance stuff is "Maximum Distance Drivers".

Not really crazy, they just never updated their terminology. There was a time that the XL and Cyclone were the big daddy distance discs. They just added adjectives instead of growing the scale with the discs (like the TeeBird going from "Ultra Long" to "Distance" to "Fairway").

Looking at the specs it might be something like the Prodigy D5 (It's not even out yet is it?). Such a low rim with still quite a bit of height for the disc it should have a some dome. Maybe it's something like Bolt? I have no idea if you can actually guess what a disc does from PDGA specs.
